Distributed power generation is a technology that could help toenable efficient, renewable energy production both in the developedand developing world. It includes all use of small electric powergenerators, whether located on the utility system, at the site of autility customer, or at an isolated site not connected to the powergrid. Induction generator (IG) is the most commonly used andcheapest technology, compatible with renewable energy resources.Permanent magnet (PM) generators have traditionally been avoideddue to high fabrication costs; however, compared with IGs they aremore reliable and productive.
Distributed Generation thoroughly examines theprinciples, possibilities and limitations of creating energy withboth IGs and PM generators. It takes an electrical engineeringapproach in the analysis and testing of these generators, andincludes diagrams and extensive case study examples to betterdemonstrate how the integration of energy sources can beaccomplished. The book also provides the practical tools needed tomodel and implement new techniques for generating energy throughisolated or grid-connected systems.
Besides a chapter introducing the technical, economic andenvironmental impacts of distributed generation, this bookincludes:
* an examination of various phase-balancing schemes for athree-phase IG operating on a single-phase power system;
* a coupled circuit 2-D finite element analysis of agrid-connected IG, with Steinmetz connection;
* a study of self-excited induction generator (SEIG) schemes forautonomous power systems, and the voltage and frequency control ofSEIG with a slip-ring machine (SESRIG);
* a report on a PM synchronous generator with inset rotor forachieving a reduced voltage regulation when supplying an autonomouspower system, and an analysis of its performance using a two-axismodel and finite element method;
* experimental work on various IG and SEIG schemes.
This book is a must-read for engineers, consultants, regulators,and environmentalists involved in energy production and delivery,helping them to evaluate renewable energy sources and to integratethese into an efficient energy delivery system. It is also asuperior reference for undergraduates and postgraduates. Designers,operators, and planners will appreciate its unique contribution tothe literature in this field.
